Week 1 Day 1

Started my first run today! Not a complete success... had to skip out 3 runs because I felt like I was DYING haha!

Still... I normally get home from work, eat 8 custard creams and cook dinner before watching tv and going to bed... so I'm feeling positive!

I try again on Saturday morning. Hopefully I'll be able to push through a bit more!

Slow down. Remember, it's a light jog.

Good luck!

Yeah I did keep running instead of jogging! Just need to practice I guess!

The pace you are looking for is one where you can talk comfortably as you jog. Although it may seem slow, it is more important to complete the sessions as directed than to aim for speed. At least you got out there and gave it a go! Next time it's yours!
